Millions of children
across the world suffer on a daily basis. Children, who are traumatized, sick
or otherwise in need, require our help today. Having the ability to give back
to less fortunate families, reminds us of just how lucky we are. These days, it
can be a little too easy to forget about the needy, poor and sick. We are all
guilty of it. Some researchers have even
claimed that all human beings are innately selfish creatures. Well, its time
break the cycle and put that notion to rest. If we wish to see change in the
world, and help our fellow human beings, we ourselves should be that change.

To make a real
difference in the quality of life of others, there are many ways to do so.

Donating time and
energy. Volunteering is a
great way to get involved in your community and help people. Whether it’s doing
an outdoor project on the weekend, volunteering at the local animal shelter, or
helping out at and elderly residence, you can truly give back and make your
city a better place.

Monetary
contributions. Contributing to a charity of your choice lets you make the
decision on where you want to help. Thousands of charities across the country
continue to need help. Some charities will work directly with those in need,
helping them with the basic necessities of life. While others use monetary
donations to fund research to help fight terrible ailments and diseases.
Companies like Amazon are leading the cause buy letting you choose which
charity to help, by donating 0.5% of the purchase price of
eligible products.

Resources. Rather than time or money, there are
ways to give back by making physical donations such as food or clothing. Food
banks allow you to bring in cans of food to give and distribute to families.
Other places let you donate clothing and coats that are distributed to homeless
and battered women’s shelters.

These are all great ways
that contribute to the well being of our fellow neighbors. Recognizing that you
are in a position to help is the first step. Giving back allows you to choose
when and where to make a difference. It’s easy to get inspired with a cause you
truly care about.

At Stash Builder Box, a local Utah based company, they do as
much as possible to keep others in mind. Their vision is to change and impact
lives through quilting. SBB is a monthly subscription based box that is mailed
out, containing quilting fabrics, tools and goodies. Boxes change every month
so you can always expect something great. For every box they send out, 20% of
the proceeds from every sale goes towards making a quilt for a child in need.
They work hard with many organizations to donate these quilts to children in
need. This month, just five days after
their initial grand opening and website launch, SBB is already preparing to
send over 20 quilts to those in need. Stash
Builder Box is expecting to double or even triple that number by June 1st.
Helping others and giving back are really the core values at SBB. From day one,
owner Amanda Kelly knew she wanted to help.
From all the quilts covering her basement floor, you can truly feel the
love that she has for those in need.

So whether it’s
donating your time, monetary contributions or other resources Amanda invites
all to do what they can to help our fellow neighbors and communities. Not only can you change and impact lives, you
will feel good doing it. To learn more about Stash Builder Box and Amanda’s
